Chapter 56: The Aura of a Descending Horse (Third Watch)
Lin Hongfei's outburst finally made someone unable to bear it, and they quietly retorted, "If our factory was doing well, who would..."
"The factory's efficiency is not good, don't you think it has anything to do with you guys?" Before the guy could finish speaking, Lin Hongfei retorted in an even louder voice, "Don't think I don't know how you people work, I've been interning here for several months, you bunch of bastards! Who's daughter would follow a group of idiots like you is really unfortunate!"
"You marry a good girl, she takes care of you, gives birth to your children, raises them for you, and takes care of your elderly parents. But what do you do? You don't even let her eat meat once in half a year, you come home drunk like a dead dog, beat your wife, beat your kids, the whole factory can hear the commotion from your house. Is this how you treat people? Whoever heard this wouldn't curse you as a heartless bastard?"
This remark not only made the thugs in front unable to lift their heads, but also made the workers who were originally watching the excitement look at these thugs with some disdain.
Everyone is from the same factory, and many have become relatives through marriage. If something happens in the factory, who got drunk and made a scene, whose wife was beaten, or who stole something from the factory and sold it for a lot of money and then disappeared... etc., etc. It doesn't take half a day for everyone to know about these situations, and naturally, everyone is aware of them. Among them, there are even several unlucky ones who married their daughters off to these troublemakers.
At such a close distance, it's clear how well the daughter and grandchildren are doing. Every time I see my daughter's forced smile and the bruises on her body, I think of when she was young and tender like a scallion that could be pinched to produce water. But now, after only two years of marriage, her face is already wrinkled. My heart aches, my heart trembles with pain. My own daughter, when she was a girl, I couldn't even bear to poke her little finger, but now she's constantly being beaten by that scoundrel, covered in bruises all over her body. Which parent wouldn't be heartbroken?
What can be done even if one's heart aches? A married-out daughter is like spilled water, once she leaves the family gate, she belongs to another family. Even if her parents' hearts ache, they can only scold this rascal with some mild words, and dare not say anything severe, for fear that their daughter will be beaten even harder when she returns home. What else can be done?
"You bunch of bastards, apart from showing off in front of your wives and kids, what else can you achieve? Don't even mention that I look down on you, you haven't done a single thing that makes me look up to you!... Girl, where's the water?" This outburst of rage wasted a lot of saliva, Lin Hongfei felt his throat was a bit dry.
"On the car... I'll go get it for you." Dongfang Xiaoling was also stunned by Lin Hongfei's sudden outburst of anger, and she had never thought that Lin Hongfei, who was usually elegant and refined in front of her, would have such a " rough" side. This rough Lin Hongfei made her feel strange and a little intimidated, but it also made her more curious. When Lin Hongfei asked for water, Xiaoling subconsciously chose to obey, and quickly turned around to retrieve Lin Hongfei's water cup from the car."
At this point, everyone dared not to breathe a word, the whole "venue" was quiet, whether it was the troublemakers who were ready to make trouble or the workers who were ready to watch the excitement, all of them held their breath and did not dare to make any slight movement.
Lin Hongfei "gulped" a mouthful of water, feeling refreshed, wiped his mouth and handed the cup to Dongfang Xiaoling, turned around and continued scolding: "I know what you bunch of bastards are thinking, no more than that I'm young, aren't you jealous?! Why should I, a student who hasn't even received my graduation certificate yet, be the deputy factory director, while you guys, in your thirties and forties, have to listen to me?!"
Right, right! What's your basis? When they heard that Lin Hongfei had stopped scolding people, the crowd who were just scolded by Lin Hongfei and couldn't lift their heads finally felt relieved. Many people even felt fortunate: this guy has finally stopped scolding.
Lin Hongfei's previous scolding had left this group of thugs, who normally prided themselves on being heroes, feeling suffocated with anger. However, Lin Hongfei's imposing presence and pressure had also made them dare not to make a move. Now that they heard Lin Hongfei had stopped his tirade, the crowd actually felt a sense of relief.
"I'm telling you all today, because the revival of Beiguan City Motorcycle Factory relies on me! Lin Hongfei patted his chest heavily, with a domineering and arrogant attitude, "It's because I designed a large-displacement motorcycle engine with our own intellectual property rights, it's because I designed a patented motorcycle appearance that even small RIBEN doesn't have, it's because the performance of my design is even more awesome than small RIBEN!"
"Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you? The Japanese took an engine that's even worse than mine, sold it to us for $20 million, and still wanted a 49% stake! And what about me? I could only get 500,000 RMB, and if we didn't sell a single car, I'd only get 3%!"
Lin Hongfei's mention of these numbers shocked everyone present. As people who make a living in the motorcycle industry, they may not understand or care about things like patents, but they had heard rumors about the two factories that collaborated with Japan. Now, Lin Hongfei revealed the details: $20 million USD and 5 million RMB; 49% and 3%. Everyone did some mental math to figure out how much Lin Hongfei lost, and it was clear that his anger was justified. He had every right to scold them, and he did so with conviction, all because they had actually produced such impressive results!
If you can bring out so many things, and still serve such a group of bastards, then you also have the right to scold them in front of their faces, pointing at their noses and cursing them as dog-blooded heads! No one dares to retort!
But do you have it? You don't, so you can only honestly listen and don't talk back.
Everyone is a worker, too much and too profound principles are not understood by everyone, but everyone recognizes one principle: as long as you are sincere and genuine in treating us, sincerely thinking for the sake of our workers, then you are a good leader, even if you are a bit rough, it's no big deal, everyone will obey you!
